I usually don’t like to play with humans if there are other nice options available. but in GW2 none of the races really appeal to me. Many of them are pretty cool, but I don’t like how they look. The lore behind Norns and Sylvari is awesome. But I only play males and norn males have completely out of whack body proportions. and Sylvari, while really elegant and nice are ultimately made of plants and I guess I prefer my characters made of flesh. XD
Charr are TOO animal like for me, If they had more humanoid bodies I would like them but they look like lions on 2 feet and asura are just… no thanks.
I usually play elf or demon characters in other MMOs but here there are none
I’m pretty sure this is just a troll post…
GW2 to me is one of the most polished games I’ve tried. I have played many MMOs and all of of them there are huge bugs that haven’t been fixed in months or even years. and I’m talking big bugs like skills not working or doing 10x the damage they should.
I know every game has things they have to fix and improve, but when I see people complaining about GW2 I truly wonder if they have really played other MMOs (excluding WoW probably)
I agree with GW2’s community being one of the nicest one I’ve been in.
I guess a good game keeps their playerbase happy
I got trapped inside a wall in a story event of HoT. by the look of it it’s just before the final boss of that chapter, but I can’t get out of the wall and I can’t die anywhere either.
Is there a way to get unstuck without losing progress? I don’t want to exit the quest and do everything again. :S
Oh wow thanks a lot! That was very useful!
oh thanks! I didn’t know it also counted as an evade
I loathe PVP but had to get 40 pts of tier pvp for the glorious chest skin for my char, the only human medium armor for males that is not a coat or doesnt have buttflaps. We all gotta do things we dont like to earn things we want. But that is not a design mistake.
I have lots of trouble with Hot mobs, to the point that I prefer to use shadow refuge often to simply avoid battles.
I’ve learned to fight some of them, and I’d love to hear some advice for others that still give me trouble.
first there´s the mushrooms, specially the bombers and chargers, I use staff and those 2 gave me hell before I decided to simply use ranged weapons with them (specially p/p #3 skill). so mushrooms are more or less clear for me now (if someone has more advice feel free to let me know)
other mobs that I tend to avoid:
-pocket raptors: specially big packs of them. I think short bow might work for them, but many times they close the gap too fast and get to me and kill me before I can kill them.
-mordrem snipers: they hit really hard and many times kill me with their lava looking straight line skill.
-the shadowleaper frogs: annoying as hell, always use stealth and appear behind me on range and hit like a truck too.
those spinning dragons, I try to evade them, but they keep on doing their charge attack. I guess I should try ranged too.
I really want to use staff and learn to play with it, I understand some enemies are much easier to fight with ranged weapons, but I wold prefer to not be forced to switch every battle to another weapon.
I may be forgetting some enemies, but from the ones I remember these are the ones that give me the most trouble.
Also, I’d love to hear about the combos you guys use. I mainly use autoattack and skill #2 for damage and #4 for blindness. I’ve heard some of you use #5 and #2 most of the time, is that so?
I have done most of Tiria map completition and the few vistas and stuff that are behind a jumping puzzle are not really hard to do (and I suck at them)
Just as you might not like it, others enjoy it a lot, and having to beat a good jp to gain a vista or hero point is amazing
It would be nice and fun. But ultimately pointless. Orr is old content, they would need a reason to spend time and effort in changing it for no reason.
I have just played one, daredevil. But i love it. Feels really acrobatic and fast.
my only problem with staff is that it being melee I can’t do much with it with canopy bosses that usually have a lot of fire near them, so I usually use shortbow or p/p for those. but I’m doing relatively good with it so far.
This is good news for me too. The progression seemed a bit slow for me.
Love the new maps. Theyre hard but fun. Really feels like a jungle where you have to be careful if you dont want to end up dead…or worse, expelled.
I like the gliding the jumping mushroom and all the ways we learn that make travelling around the maps easier.
I have had a lot of fun so far with it all. My only complaint is that masteries and elite spec take longer than i would wish for. But at leasy theyre changing tje elite soec requirements. Anyone has any ideas on when will they do it?
Yeah, that’s pretty bad XD
why do you guys want WPs unlocked? if you just need the important ones for each map you can unlock them in a relatively short time. you don’t need ALL of them for anything.
you hating the vistas is not a solid argument enough for them not to count or map completition, vistas and POI should be the most important part of it.
The reason I want(ed) to do World Complete is simple: I want(ed) to be able to say I did it. It’s the completionist in me. .
I don’t get it. so the completitionist in you wants to be given something without actually completing it? makes no sense to me…
I’ll only support this if male humans get another shape like the muscled one where the legs are also more muscled and not like the chicken legs we have now.
No pne has to do map completition if they dont want to. Just go and unlock the wps you need for cities and world bosses and youre done
Medium armor lacks option if you dont like trenchcoats. Im a male human thief. I have no options at all that show some skin. Not even the chest… i want some leather tigut clothes or leather harness for a more savage look
Explorer all the way! I love wandering around for hours trying to find secret places and stuff!
Second maybe achiever.
I agree that hearts could not count for map completition. But i also think that all areas should be de-fogged and discovered for map completition (unlike now)
there’s no “need” for it, or for anything else to be honest. this is an MMO not a life support system. anything in the game is for fun not for need.
map completition is tied to exp and rewards, how would that work with an account bound system?
if you say take away the rewards then no. a hundred times no. some of us like to explore and taking away the exploration rewards is a huge step backwards.
if you think all new alts should get all map completition rewards on creation I also say no. it doesn’t make any sense.
if you think other system could work then I’m listening.
I’ll never get all the hate for poor Trahearne…
I hope he doesn’t turn evil, we already have Caithe that’s acting strange, so enough plant people with mysterious intentions.
I think most of the OP issues are that he doesn’t enjoy MMOs in general. Gw2 is a great game but it cant cater to everyone.
haha awesome! I wish I saw more public rp around
it really makes everything much more lively.
I find world exploration and completition fun and enjoyable. it’s a nice thing to do when just wandering around the world.
if you want to do it fast it will really be a long chore though.
most thieves are not stealthed most of the fight. and it’s high risk because a visible thief is usually a dead one.
why do some people get so rude when someone makes suggestions? you can disagree without being rude, just a thought.
if you’re sick of seeing the same posts over and over, then maybe you should not enter them in the first place?
how can it be a tool for abuse?
Any chance we will ever get a small box to write our characters’s bio or background? it would be pretty cool for RPers and those interested. I know many people won’t care but It could help those who are interested a lot
I just compare my knowledge of GW2 maps versus another MMO with mounts. I really feel I knew those maps, I knew tha main paths, what was on them etc. in here I always have to double check to see where I have to go, and I get maps confused between them.
plus, it was highly relaxing, to just mount up and travel around maps.
fair answer. still, having a small amount of mounts at the beginning and add some more along the way should not be that time consuming.
or at least a way to walk significatively faster so it doesn’t take that long to walk around a map.
also about swiftness. not all classes have it. we thieves only have a 25% increase and it’s not really enough to make it bearable.

I don’t understand why peple DON’T want mounts. I get it that they’re not really required with the WP system, but not wanting them?
I would love to be able to just ride my mount and travel around the various beautiful maps of the world. But walking is way to slow to do it that way, and I don’t enjoy WPeverywhere because I don’t even get to apreciate them fully.
I didn’t get to play ls1 so I feel I missed it. it sure sounds like it was a really interesting thing to play through.
I wish we had more options for character creator, or even in the make over kits, stuff like earrings, make up, scars, etc.
I’d really really love this aswell, I like the current screen, but changing them for expansions helps bring a sense of development and should not be a whole lot of work.
I think people fear the trinity because there’s a very small line between content that is better done by using trinity and it being required for it (either actually required or players requiring it to enter their groups)
yep, having it being an emote that happens automaticaly each time you use /s would be the best option IMO.
if they want to add more to it, add 3 emotes, one for regular chat, other for querstions and other for exclamations (depending if you end your sentence with . ? or ! )
I hate grinding and farming and I don’t really understand how can anyone enjoy it XD
this is my first halloween in Tyria, I can’t wait!
oh that’s great. I was feeling that we would only get 1 new map at launch.
can’t wait to try them!
hey everyone, I haven’t participated in the betas so far, so I don’t really know.
I read that HoT will feature 4 new maps? So far I’ve heard people have tested one of those, what about the other 3?
is there going to be 4 maps at launch or they plan to add them later?
I hope someone can answer this to me.
I wish the krytan medium armor looked more like the female version on males, now it’0s just another random long trenchcoat… =P
Every class thinks that, but it doesn’t mean some of the classes that do frequently get nerfed into oblivion aren’t wrong about complaining. Try playing a thief, see how you like it when you can literally only do one thing and you’re not even good at doing that one thing anymore.
believe me, I know. I’m a thief.
But my point still stands, every class is always going to think they’re at a disadvantage against other classes.
